God speaks through a democratic assembly of followers! The faithful have voted , God has spoken.
Is there a more benign way of understanding religion?

If god has spoken through those voting, then he only managed to speak to a portion, how do we know he spoke to the majority?

I don't know how God does anything.

Religions are usually sold as the eternal unchangeable revelation of God; the war on heresy typical of many religions is founded on this belief, which admits no variation from the-one-revealed -truth.

How much could any religion change while remaining true to the revealed message? The congregation speaks for God makes this problem simple and pain free.
